India, the world's third biggest oil consumer and importer, which ships in over 80% of its needs, usually relies on the Middle East for the majority of its supply. The country's top refiner IOC has already told Russia's Rosneft that it intends to buy as much as 40,000 bpd of Russian crude, one of the sources said, some 2.5% of its total refining capacity.

India on course for lowest fuel demand growth in six years
Growth in demand for fuel in India is on course to fall to its lowest in at least six years as the economy slows and after heavy rains impacted gasoil consumption, which accounts for about two-fifth of the nation's overall fuel use. In the fiscal year to March 2019, fuel demand rose by 3.4%, the lowest in five years. "It means in the next few months (in this fiscal year) fuel demand need to grow by 3%-4% to reach last year's levels, which looks unlikely," M.K Surana, chairman of state-run Hindustan Petroleum Corp <HPCL.N> told a news conference.
